Alkynes like alkanes and alkenes, are hydrocarbons. alkynes have carbon- carbon triple covalent bonds. draw the structure of the alkynes that has the chemical formula c3h4. can you guess the name of this compound? explain why there aren’t any compounds that have carbon to carbon triple bond

C₃H₄ ⇒ Propyne

Explanation:

ALKYNE:

Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbon, with a general formula CₙH₂ₙ₋₂.

The Structure of the Alkyne with chemical formula c₃H₄ is shown on the attachment below.

The name of the compound is Propyne.

There aren't compound that have carbon to carbon triple bond because, alkynes which are the only compounds with triple bond do not have sterioisomers, because the triple bond is sp hybridized. sp hybridization is linear, the molecule of akynes are positioned in a straight line.

thereby making sterioisomers impossible.

Sterioisomers: Two molecules are described as sterioisomers if they have the same atom connected in the same pattern, but the atom are positioned differently in space. E.g, Trans and Cis.
